So, our local whizzo machinist knocked up a plug for us to use in the pressure test of the assembled fluid flywheel so last Wednesday night that was installed and she held 40 Psi for 15 minutes as per the manual and we are delighted.

There will be some frantic cleaning and painting this Tuesday so we can go back in with the pack hopefully.

We do have one other piece of news that I am very excited about and all Ferret owners should be as well as things for all of us are about to improve, but that will have to wait for a few days or maybe a week. Sworn to secrecy.

I have sent off the End User paperwork required for some spares that blindsided me, honestly that system is laughable.

The gearbox and engine are back together now, fluids checked, everyone should pay attention to their gearbox and transfer case dipsticks and the galleries in them, they get gummed up over time and need to be cleaned.
